Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

The Founders

Chipangali founder Viv Wilson and his late wife Paddy retired from the active side of running the Orphanage over ten years ago, in order to devote more time to urgent wildlife research projects. Viv was the leading instigator of several unique projects, such a ten year survey of the duikers of Africa which culminated in the 800 page masterpiece named The Duikers for Africa, Masters of the African floor.
